There is no doubt that at the banquet on New Year's Day, Tang Heshang really didn't cause trouble for his brother, at least he didn't let the banquet end abruptly like the Shangsi Festival.

On the contrary, the competition with Li Yan earned a lot of face for the Tang family on the Tang River, and the title of the Tang family's unicorn spread throughout the Tang Dynasty officialdom at once.

There are also some people who are not very well-informed like Li Yan, who specially asked friends who were Beijing officials in Chang'an to inquire about the deeds of the fourth child of the Tang family.

The news was shocking!

took four teenagers to Saiwai, rescued Tang Jian on the vast grassland, and arrested Jieli by the way; The invention of gunpowder, horseshoes, and saddles contributed greatly to the country; set up a workshop, got glass, soap, perfume, cement, honeycomb charcoal; scolded the emperor many times, and published a poem and a half on the Shangsi Festival, and made "A Fang" at the court meeting; killed the Jingzhaowei family, damaged the Qinghe Cui family, and seriously injured the Taiyuan Wang family; Chang'an College was opened, accepting 1,000 students, breaking the restrictions on poor families and civilians studying; I went to Lingnan and got a Jingguan ......!

The more I hear about the deeds on the Tang River, the more I can reflect how Li Yan is dying!

The Tang family unicorn can't be provoked! This is the consensus in the hearts of all the exile officials who have learned about the deeds on the Tang River.

Of course, if you have to do it like Li Yan, you can try to provoke Tang Heshang. Ahem, of course, the results are also obvious......

However, not everyone felt that Tang Heshang had done anything great at this banquet. For example, in his opinion, the influence of the poems made on the Tang River at the New Year's Day banquet is obviously not as pertinent and destructive as the poems and fu of the Shangsi Festival and the following ones.

Without him, the object is different!

Whoever has the emperor makes people feel more energetic, right?

Therefore, the "little things" at this New Year's Day banquet Second Uncle Qu felt that there was no need to tell his nephew who was far away in Dengzhou and was so busy that he didn't even have time to report on his work.

You can't let a little thing distract your nephew, can you?

The emperor has praised his nephew, so that his nephew has time to make some serious achievements, and when the time comes, the nephew's official position will naturally rise, and our Qu Tu family can again become the real top existence in the noble circle, isn't it?

As a result, Dengzhou Thorn Shi, who had already recruited more than thirty villages to be busy on the beach, knew nothing about what happened at the New Year's Day banquet.

I don't know how Li Yan died, nor did I know that the little brother who sang with him had made great poems.

However, even if he knew, Qu Tushou didn't think he could evaluate anything, his own pure military general bloodline, no genetics of learning!

The construction of the salt pan on the beach is already in full swing, and Qu Tushou and Liu Renliang are almost ready to get their hands on it themselves.

This is also to blame for a bad thorn history, that day secretly got a pot of water back to the stabbing history mansion and boiled for two quarters of an hour, the water boiled dry, and the bottom of the pot was successfully boiled white.

At that time, Qu Tushou buckled the bottom of the pot, and then tasted it. Salty!

Although there is some astringency in the salt, it is understandable, this is much more awesome than those sour salt strips!

How big is the sea and how much salt can be made?

Oh, it's not important, Dengzhou Thorn Shi feels that in order to improve the miserable life of the people of the Tang Dynasty who eat salt and cloth, and in order to change the current situation of the poverty and destitution of the people of Dengzhou, this official is willing to cook the sea!

Therefore, the originally decided Twenty-Mile Salt Farm successfully doubled its expansion under Qu Tushou's soft grinding and hard foam and manpower guarantee!

Originally, Liu Renliang rejected Qu Tushou's proposal, there are so many ways to make money, why do you want to knock the salt farm?

But then I thought about it, one salt farm was built, and two salt farms were also built.

The two sides agreed to get more people, first build the first salt field, and then establish the second salt field, Dengzhou Assassin Mansion and the navy began the first strategic cooperation.

On the second day of the first lunar month, the officials of the entire Tang Dynasty have taken a holiday, except for Dengzhou.

On this day, the first salt works were finally built.

Thirty villages, nearly 2,000 manpower has been invested, and a salt farm has not been built for so many days, so I don't know how inefficient it is.

The built salt works look a bit like terraced rice fields, but the difference in height is not so large. The ridge of the pond is about half a foot high, surrounded by square pools, and the area is eight steps long from the edge of each square pool from top to bottom. The beach pond is dug low one by one from top to bottom, with a drop of 3 inches, and there is a pool door between the upper and lower pools to flow water downward. A platform was built under the bottom pond, and the construction drawings in Liu Renliang's hand were marked with two words "salt mound" for salt storage. Dig three large ditches around the beach pond, called salt ditches, in order to store water in the tide. On the seaward side is a ditch embankment, open a water gate, and set up a gate for opening and closing. There is a "tidal ditch" built outside it, which leads directly to the sea, which is used to lead the tide into the ditch and prepare the salt ditch to accept the tide.

The bottom of the salt flat is no longer the original sand and mud, but the soil in the pool is dug loose, dried, and then put into the seawater to soak it thin, let the workers step on the pool with bare feet, scrape the bottom pool with a scraper, and then discharge the seawater in the pool to dry, and compact and flatten it with a bare sheet.

In the final analysis, the process is not complicated, and most of the materials are taken on the spot, otherwise the salt pond that is 20 miles long and 1 mile wide cannot be built in a few days.

The completion of the salt pond is a great encouragement to the fishermen who participated in the construction of Qu Tushou and Dengzhou.

Fishermen, in particular, have they ever heard that as soon as the salt pond is built, some workers will be recruited to work in the salt works! Although the monthly salary cannot be set for the time being, there must be a hanging money.

That's a penny, how much brown rice can you buy?

If you don't know, please go back to the previous chapter and calculate!

Liu had no objection to Qu Tushou's words, this was the content of the discussion between the two. It's just that on the same day, Liu Renliang did not announce that those people were selected to work in the salt works, but returned to the Assassin's Mansion with Qu Tushou.

The completion of the first salt plant is naturally a thing that needs to be celebrated!

As soon as he returned to the Thorn History Mansion, Qu Tushou smiled and said, "Brother Xian, the first salt field has been completed today, we have to celebrate!" Why don't you let the cook get some fish to accompany the wine for your brother? ”

Liu Zhengze, who has long been tired of eating fish, has a stiff face, what does this celebration have to do with the fish eating god TM?

Looking at Liu Renliang's face, Qu Tushou smiled and said, "You, I know that you can't get used to eating, let's eat stir-fried vegetables tonight!" This has been prepared for my brother for a long time, just wait for today! ”

"Really?"

If there is anything else that can make Liu Renliang overjoyed, it is really only food!

The more I ate the fish, the more I ate, but Liu became more and more uncomfortable!

If it weren't for the fact that he was really busy with the construction of the salt farm these days, Liu Zhengze would have exchanged some other food according to the list given by his general, where could he continue to eat this fish that makes people want to vomit?

Sure enough, a few stir-fried dishes that were not full of color and flavor were on the table, and Liu Zhengze's appetite was greatly boosted!
